I Blazed A Trail.....

and the trail ended today. I got a big surprise today, the hospital eliminated my position as a Clinical Nurse Leader. I was the first one in the city and the first in the state. I was only working part-time and since starting back to school, it had gotten a lot more stressful. We got a new director a few months back, and I feel she was threatened by me. In recent weeks I had discovered that one of my accomplishments was discussed last year at a senior administration meeting, and the lauded the success on my unit. However, no one ever said that it had been recognized. The lack of recognition didn't really bother me, I just hated it for my nurses that they didn't get recognized for their work.
Anyway, that's what my day was like. I just wanted to share.

Currently, I am back in school pursing my nurse practitioner certificate which will lead to a doctorate of nursing practice. I am also teaching 1 lab at the university. I probably won't pursue anything permanent right now, I will just focus on my school.
I hate the surprise for my nurses though. It will be harder for the to feel secure, than it will be for me to move on.

Sorry about your position ending. I work in a hospital as a chaplain and I have never seen the turnover in the management (directors and managers) that I see in hospitals. They usually let people go on Fridays too. I guess it gives time to take their names off the door and by Monday it is old news. I believe that God has something better for you.

I'm sorry Jinjer, but like we talked about last night you have so much on your plate, everything will be all right! Hey, now you don't have to convince Jeffery it's his idea!
Love you!

Sorry jinjer, I work in a hospital to, only in medical records. You just never no when they will eliminate your job. There was this one person they did that to and she had been there a long time. It was sad for her. But like someone else said, "God has a plan". Seek Him and He will open the right doors for you. Hey them Nurse practitioners they do just about the same as a doctor on somethings. I pray for God's Blessings upon you and your future.

Jinjer, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. As you walk through the days ahead, know that He has walked that path before you, and now with you. Now may be a good time to sing,
"Leaning; leaning. Safe and secure from all alarm. Leaning; leaning. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms."
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
